Grow Sunflowers on Your Balcony: A Step-by-Step Guide to Beautiful Blooms
- •Choose dwarf varieties like 'Teddy Bear' or 'Sunspot' for balcony gardening, as they grow only 1-2 feet tall.
- •Use an 8-12 inch pot with drainage holes and a well-draining soil mix of 50% regular soil, 30% vermicompost, and 20% sand.
- •Plant 2-3 seeds 1 inch deep in moist soil, cover lightly, and water with a spray bottle; germination takes 7-10 days.
- •Ensure sunflowers receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.
- •Water regularly, keeping the soil moist for young plants and watering when the topsoil is dry for mature plants; fertilize with organic compost during flowering.
Why It Matters: Easily grow beautiful sunflowers on your balcony by choosing dwarf varieties, preparing the right soil, and providing ample sunlight and care.
